Meetings and agendas

Meeting dates, agendas and minutes of Council and Special Committee meetings are found here.

Council decision-making takes place in three formal forums.

  • Council meetings - the formal decision-making forum for all matters under Council's jurisdiction, by or under any Act or regulation.
  • Services Special Committee - makes decisions on issues under any Act (other than the Planning and Environment Act and the Building Act), especially issues connected with human and physical services and maintenance of infrastructure.
  • Urban Planning Special Committee - makes decisions on issues under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the Building Act 1990.

All meetings are held in the Council Chamber at 4 Inglesby Road, Camberwell and are open to the public. All Councillors are members of the Special Committees.

The Audit Commmittee is usually closed to members of the public in accordance with section 89(2) of the Local Government Act 1989.
